Trilogy Mineral Radiance Mask Review

I have fallen in love with this Trilogy Radiance Mineral Mask and my Lush, Freeman and Glamglow masks have gone to the back of the drawer. My skin has recently shifted from oily/acne prone to combination with the occasional spot, so I thought it was the perfect time to try a new mask. The packaging is typical of Trilogy, and could be mistaken for one of their night creams. It is in a sturdy, glass jar with a secure lid and basic branding.

I prefer mud masks over any other masks as I tend to reach for a mask when I can feel a break out coming. This Trilogy mask performs equally as well as Glamglow (which retails for $100) on the pimple zapping front. If I use it soon enough, the break out never breaks out. If I use it on a pimple or area of acne then it is either gone, or almost gone the next morning. But aside from the price tag, the Trilogy mask goes above and beyond any other mask. What stood out for me in the ingredients list is the oils. The Trilogy mask is full of them. It is certainly still a mud mask, but it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated, rather than tight and too-clean. The oils do not effect my break outs in any way, and only benefit my skin. The oils also mean that the mask doesn't dry on my skin. It stays in place enough for me to carry on around the house, but it doesn't dry or crack. This feels lovely and luxurious. I also like that it has a silky feel too it and doesn't exfoliate the skin. I already use other exfoliating products in my skincare routine and some face masks can be too rough.

Lastly, a little goes a LONG way with this mask. The first two times that I used it, I only used what was on the bottom of the cap. It spread easily and evenly over my face and I can't imagine when I will need to repurchase, as I still haven't made a dent. I highly recommend this face mask for anyone with oily, combination or normal skin who ever breaks out, as no matter what mood your skin is in, this mask will benefit it.

With a recent Trilogy order I received the trial pot of this mineral mask, now when I say trial pot you'd expect one or two applications and then it'll be all gone. This clay is so luxurious and thick that once I found out about using an old foundation brush to apply mud packs I saw that after 5 applications I'd only just made the halfway point in this little pot, that alone has made me purchase the full size tub.

This clay is thick, grey and really cooling when applied, the thinner you can get a coat of this on your skin the better, as I found that thick patches that resulted from using my fingertips took far too long to dry out completely. Another bonus I have found is that it actually dries while in the bath, not a lot of face packs fully dry if used whilst in a steamy hot bath.

This is my go too mask when my skin has got super dry and needs them extra minerals to soak up to be fully hydrated, clean and glowing again. My pores get unclogged and following this up with a toner sees them all tighten up really nicely for a few days.

Once dried the blue/grey clay sets to a light grey and washes off with the help of a flannel/washcloth really easily. Leaving no residue at all, nothing but super soft skin.

The container is easy to use, and the lid actually stays on pretty tightly to prevent any steam or dampness to get into the clay which would spoil it. However as I found by accidentally knocking an open tub into a running bath recently, that it is so thick that water doesn't penetrate into it, but it was just a quick dunk!!

This masque is fantastic for sensitive, mature and dry skin. Here's why, it deep cleanses but instead of making your skin feel tight and dry and cracking like most mud masques it feels really comfortable and like your skin is being treated. The primrose, sweet almond, rosehip and jojoba keep it from drying out and nourish your skin while the kaolin deep cleanses your skin. Scent wise the masque has a very mild earthy scent which is due to the kaolin but it's really mild compared to most unfragranced mud masques. I like to reach for this when my skin is sensitive and dry but I would like to give a good deep cleanse and especially when I have a few pimples because it treats both the pimples and dry skin. It's ideal for winter because of that. Also if you are doing peels or have been using a lot of scrubs that week and have sensitive skin and want to use a mud masque this is one I would highly recommend, I can put it around my eye area without it irritating it. Another thing I like is this rinses off quite nicely with warm water if you are too lazy to wash a face cloth after this, although I have found I got the best results using one. This masque doesn't really dry it more like set and dries to the touch. After I rinse it off my skin has a nice glow to it and doesn't feel tight and dry however, the glow is enhanced with a good serum or facial oil. I would say this masque doesn't exfoliate your skin it more like deep cleanses it. You only need a tiny bit so you will get many uses out of the pot. The spatula is ideal for taking a little bit out of the pot and keeps you from needing to dip your fingers in it and contaminating the product. I plan to repurchase this when I run out. Another winner from Trilogy.

I got this this mask as part of the free gift Radiance Set. Since I got this I've been adding mask into my routine a lot more than I used to, I love this mask!

This is a gorgeous kaolin clay mask, it feels so lovely going on, its such a smooth consistency. This is a little hard to apply with fingers so use a clean foundation/mask brush. Apply a thin layer and wait for it to set then remove it with a warm face cloth. It looks very much like a mud mask, but its so much easier to remove.

It left my skin feel smooth and fresh and my skin looked brighter after removal. I have quite dry skin and sensitive skin and this did not dry out or irritate my skin. The rosehip and evening primose definitely helped to hydrate my skin, this product is filled with many different oils.

For the price round about $35 -40, you only need the tiniest amount and the thinnest layer. I will definitely buy this once my little pottle has run out

I got this as a treat for myself when Trilogy were doing a buy two get one free when I was stocking up on their Rosehip Oil. Boy am I glad I picked this mask. The packaging is beautiful and simple like the rest of the Trilogy range. When I opened the box for the first time a little spatula fell out and it is a cute little tool. The spatula helps to get the product out of the jar without having to out fingers in and then is perfect for spreading the product evenly over my face. You only need a thin layer of the mask or it takes ages to dry (as I found out the first time I used it, oops!) The formula itself if gorgeously smooth and not thick and gluggy like you could expect a mask like this to be. The fragrance is not overly noticeable and certainly is something I am not bothered by on my face for 10-15 mins. Once it has dried you can tell it has by the feel of it but it doesn't make your face fell like it's going to crack open if you don't get it off fast enough. Once I washed this off my skin felt ah-may-zing! My skin is incredibly soft (even softer than a baby's bum if you like) and it looks radiant. Using this mask really feels like I'm spoiling myself and is a nice bit of indulgence for my Sunday morning pamper routine. I will be sticking with this mask for a while and will be repurchasing when it runs out.

Looks can be very decieving, especially with this mask. You look at the size of the jar and instsantly think that you'll run out of it incredibly fast..... Then you use it for the first time and see how little product you actually need to cover your entire face. You literally only need the smallest amount and you'll probably still have some left over.

It comes with a little flat surfaced applicator which allows you to smooth over any thick patches and scraping up any excess product to use on other parts of your face, insuring you only use what you actually need. It also helps to give you a thin even layer. So absolutely no product goes to waste and you're doing yourself a favour by not using up more than what you have to.

It has evening primrose which is very benefecial for your skin. Some people even take the evening primrose capsules to help improve the appearance of their skin so that is definitely a key ingredient. I love the way it makes my skin feel afterwards. It feels clean, nourished and hydrated (which my skin has been lacking lately so I've been loving this mask lately). I currently have quite a few blemishes and after using this mask I notice a big difference on how I feel about my skin. It makes it feel clean in a sense. With all these breakouts I do feel quite yucky but after a good mask, like this one, I start to feel a tiny bit better about my skin and how nice and refreshed it makes me look.

It's so gentle on the skin and doesn't cause any irritation. Lately my eyes have been stinging and watering like crazy when using my skinfood mud masque. But I haven't experienced any problems with this trilogy mask.

I follow up with a trilogy moisturiser that I got in my beauty review beauty box  and those two combined are magical. It keeps my skin moisturised throughout the day and it obsorbs into my skin really quickly. It's like my skin is just sucking up all the goodness.

When removing the mask, it is incredibly quick and easy. I like to use a warm flannel to rinse it off. I just gently hold the flannel on my face, let it sit for a few seconds and then wipe it away. It's that easy.

It's a great face mask and it's a wonderful pick me up. Perfect for those pamper nights :)

I got the Trilogy Mineral Radiance Mask in my first The Best Beauty Box Ever in the Cruelty Free Edition. The package contains a cute 60ml pot with a small plastic spatula to apply the mask. The mask itself is a dark grey colour, which looks like a mud mask and had a nice scent to it.

Firstly, I cleansed and toned my face and neck then evenly spread the Mineral Radiance Mask with the small spatula on my face and neck. There was no need to apply it too thick, just as along it covered the skin. The directions didn’t mention how long to leave it on for, but it took about 20 minutes to dry on my face. After the mask dried, I washed it off in the shower, so I didn’t make a mess on my bathroom floor. I have oily skin which is also pimple and acne prone, so I was amazed by the immediate results. The redness and the size of my pimples and acne diminished after every use. The scarring I had from old pimples and acne also appeared to be lighter. Although, it doesn’t mention how many times to use it per week, I used it 1-2 times a week, depending on how bad my skin is looking.

I would recommend it to others to use the Mineral Radiance Mask as it has shown me immediate results and may help others with the same skin problems as me.

Usually I am not a huge fan of Trilogy BUT this one has my backing 100%! The jar although appears small you don't use alot of the product so it does have a bit of value for money. It comes with a spatula to smooth it on to your face more effectively. It avoids waste and spreads it evenly. The mask itself is grey in appearance and fits when I think of clay. It is a smooth formula, edging on silky.

I always cleanse my face first to try and get any dirt or makeup off my face, I spread this mask over my face avoiding eye areas and my mouth. It has a bit of a strong smell although not unpleasant. It is very cold going on so is not something I enjoy doing in the winter. It takes about 20 minutes to dry (not completely) on my skin. I leave it on for half an hour before I wash it off with warm water and a cloth. I rinse the cloth off after each swipe because I have found that it can stain if not rinsed out at time of contact. After removing my skin feels rejuvenated. It is smooth, plump, clearer and far more hydrated.

I have been using it now for 6 months and have repurchased three times. I find using it once a week is sufficient in keeping my skin looking great. My redness has cleared up, my skin tone is more even and I have even taken on not wearing foundation which is actually quite liberating. It is a great way to de-gunk your face and also bonus scare the kids hehe.

I brought a gift pack at my local pharmacy and received this FREE with 2 other products. Right away I loved it for that reason. Trilogy have great gift packs so if you've been wanting to try some of their products this is the way to go. I'd wanted a decent face mask and I was rapt to get this free. It's a good sized jar (i love the glass - I reuse them for travelling) and attractive packaging. Take the lid off, and inside is a luxurious dark grey mud which I applied with my fingertips (After reading the other reviews I should have used a brush) onto cleansed skin. Avoid the eye and lip areas, as the skin is too delicate for this treatment. Leave to dry for 10 mins and wash off with a facecloth and warm water. Easy peasy ! I follow with Trilogy Rosehip oil and my face feels fabulous. Will re-purchase when this runs out. I think it will last quite a while.

This is a weekly staple of my Trilogy skin care routine. I used to use masks every once in a while when my skin felt like it was in need of some TLC, but being a big Trilogy fan I wanted to try this mask.

I really enjoy it. Unlike regular clay masks, my face doesn't feel tight afterwards. My skin is pretty good so I don't know whether this brings out blemishes like some other clay masks, but for me it's just great.

I apply it, and leave it on for 20-30 minutes. I wash it off and pat dry, and my face is left much softer than before I applied the mask. This is the only mask I've found that makes me want to apply it - I will do it the night before a special event, or weekly. Sometimes I want to do it more than once a week, despite being somewhat time consuming.

A great mask for any skin type - not drying and not oily. It just balances the skin and makes it lovely and smooth.
